ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

Luckily, it's a home console with portability options, so it cannot be held to the same standards!!!!

Excuse me it is a handheld sold with a combination TV out and charger.

I have never been shy about expressing my belief that 3 hours is terrible for a portable system's battery life.

on the other hand. There is not a single tablet that I have owned with a screen on time while playing cpu/gpu intensive games of longer than 3 hours.

Nintendo is consistently damned if they do and damned if they don't so I'm glad they stopped giving a gently caress and just do whatever they want now.

Why would Nintendo have two handhelds out at the same time? UGH, NINTENDO DOES IT AGAIN.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If you're planning on upgrading to the Switch version of Mario Kart 8, Amazon's trade in value for the Wii U version is currently $22, which seemed like a good deal to me.

Apparently what they want to do is not sell consoles anymore, and I can get behind that

Capture the opening of the portal that connects this earth of 3D to one earth of 4D or 5D. Going to the 5D.

I'm excited to be free of the burden of my hands being bound together to play video games. Too often my arms have become fatigued holding the 3DS or Wii U controller up while adventuring through Hyrule with Link and Epona. With the invention of the Joy-Con, my mum can place the console on my Pikachu nightstand, the controls in my hands at my sides, and I can play the new Zelda game with the best graphics on a body-weight neutral console.

Who else is excited to finally be able to game with a console that has both the best games and the best quality of life features?

Don't care about Bomberman AI being bad, but if it doesn't run well that is going to be some poo poo. I feel like there really isn't an excuse for Bomberman not to run well, there isn't a hell of a lot going on. I have it pre ordered but am considering holding off for some reviews.

Man the engineering in the Switch is awe-inspiring. Crazy how tightly packed that thing is and also how light it apparently is even with that chunky rear end battery. I'm loving reading the speculation thread on NeoGAF. Looks like half the thread is split on believing it's a Maxwell Revision 2 and the other half says not enough evidence to say it's not Pascal. Wonder when and how we're going to confirm that.

I dunno, an iPhone's internals don't look as impressive and aren't packing nearly as much (at first glance) as the Switch seems to be.

Unironically considered this but I wasn't sure which mounts would fit the switch, so that plan is put on hold.
